Isn’t hydro incredibly destructive to the ecosystem and biosphere?
It interferes with the free flow of fish and other waterborne life, but there are ways to abate that problem.
Don't hold your breathe, it'll be crawling through the judicial branch for a while yet. Just how these things go, until we start punishing judges.
Less than they deserve.
So I guess Nuclear is the best option. It's amazing how we end up actually caring more about the environment then the left does
In every existing model that is efficient enough to bother with, yes.
The supreme court ruled against nationwide injunctions. The lower court immediately certified a class action which has the same effect. Everyone involved knew this would be the next step and some of the conservative justicies even wrote about that problem in their opinion.
Coal power plants release three times the radiation that nuclear power plants do, wind turbines require a fuckton of petrochemicals to lubricate, and solar panels require mining activity that electric vehicles are largely unable to perform. Fusion will definitely change the game IMHO.
Africa should still be colonized and strip mined for all its fucking worth.
Dams are great and only terrorists like Weather Underground disagree
You kidding? Terrorists love dams. How else could you kill a hundred thousand people with one well-placed bomb? Don't let Japan answer that
There's no free lunch, true, but dams are also useful for flood control and reservoir creation that you'd want to do anyway, in some areas the habitat loss is fairly minimal and within historical flood zones that wouldn't have developed much forestry, and are extremely reliable for output. Think Bonneville on the Columbia, rather than one like Oroville. If it's an option for the region, imo it absolutely should be part of the mix.
I wish for every weather underground member to be thrown into a meat grinder
"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities — all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The role is easy; there is none easier, save only the role of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.”
It's way more than 3.6 billion. Post WW2 aid to Africa adds up to around 2.6 TRILLION in today's money, and that's just the official stuff per the world bank.
that pic is backwards lol
